Not at all. I've just never been a fan of having a thousand windows open. I keep 4 terminals tiled on 1 desktop, use screen to background things, and use a tabbed Firefox on desktop 2. Occasionally an additional terminal is spawned to background music in mplayer. Other apps such as Gimp or Code Editors are "transient" and float over some of the terminals. Heavy work is done in server processes, and I have lots of those, but they aren't managed by my WM. I get my rocks off on heavy-duty apps starting in subsecond times. I like transient windows, above my bedrock of workers. Sometimes serial is sexy.
